I have the digitalstream box as well and my only complaint is that when I use a GOOD coax cable, instead of the el cheapo cable supplied, to connect the box to the TV, the weight of the cable makes it difficult for the box to sit level on top of the TV. I also wish these boxes had a switched AC outlet on the back. That would convert any older TV to total remote control.

My Sister and Cousin both have the el cheapo Funai/Magnavox box from walmart. It has not failed to work; but, is very user unfriendly, IMHO. You'd do better to spend the extra $10 and get the Digitalstream, Zenith, or Insignia boxes.

At our local BB, they carry the Insignia and Apex brand boxes. Someone I know recently bought the Insignia box because the salesman told her that the store had many returns on the Apex box. I think the Insignia box was only $5 higher than the Apex.
